StatiStician Switzler.

Comparisons Drawn Showing
Commercial Progress - For
eign Business Outlined.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, October 26.-The re-
port OF Colonel Switzler, Chief of the
Bureau of Statistics, on wool and
manufacturers of wool, is ready for
distribution. The report shows that
the number OF sheep in the United
States has increased from 10 900 900
in 1910 to 81 900, 900 in 1884, but de-
clined to 45,000,00O in 1887. This
marked decline occurred mainly in the
Southern and Western States, and is
to the decline in the price
of wool since 1884. Great Britain be-
ing the leading wool market of the
world, has always been the principal
market for our purchases of wool.
OUR IMPORTS OF WOOL
Rose from 1,715 500 pounds in 1882 to
ia, 1885, ,030 pounds in 1887. The in
crease in the wool imports has about
kept pace with the growth of our wool
products, both having about doubled
since 1869.
The annual imports of wool in manu-
factures averaged over $4,000, 900.
Our imports have increased about 62
per cent, but the consumption per
capita has doubled. which, the statis-
tician SAYS, indicates in a striking
manner the advancement of wealth
and comfort in style of living among
the people of the country.
FOREIGN TRADERS.
The statistics of imports and ex-
ports of woolens in the trade OF for
eign countries show that the United
Kingdom is foremost in foreign trade
in wools, the imports during 1885
in value to $40, 900. 900,
and exports $115, 100000. France
comes next with imports of $4,000
900, and exports $4,000, 900; Ger
many, imports, $25, 100000, and ex-
ports, $5l ,000,000
A MARKED FALLING OFF.
There has been large decline in
the woolen trade of Great Britain
since 1874, as shown by the exports
as follows: Exports from 1870 to
1873, $7S7 900, 600; from 1870 to 1874,
S548, 900 900, showing a decline of
$239, 900, 900, or 80 per cent. between
the periods. This decline is attribut-
ed in part to high foreign tariffs which
it claimed had shut out the manufac-
turers of Great Britain from foreign
